Section 1752 of the Ukiah City Code is hereby amended-to
read as follows:
Section 1752 - Tax Imposed:
Each transient paying for the privilege of oc-
cupancy in any hotel shall pay a tax in the amount of
eight percent (8%) of the rent charged by the operator.
Said tax constitutes a debt owed by the transient to the
City which is extinguished only by payment to the
operator or to the City. The transient shall pay the
tax to the operator of the hotel at the time the rent is
paid. If the rent is paid in installments, a propor-
tionate share of the tax shall be paid with each in-
stallment. The unpaid tax shall be due upon the
transient's ceasing to occupy space in the hotel. If
for any reason the tax due is not paid to the operator
of the hotel, the Tax Administrator may require that
such tax shall be paid directly to the Tax Ad-
ministrator.
Section 2. Adoption: This ordinance shall be presented t~
the voters of the City of Ukiah at a municipal election and shall
become effective 10 days following its final passage.
